Way to see reason for Game "Termination" ?

**Felix Rgbg** · August 08, 2006, 06:43 AM

Hello,

is there a way to see why exactly (errors in files,...) a game crashed?

I did some Mod on my RTR PE and now, between 250 and 235 BC there crashes the game when i click on "next turn".
Sometimes changing little things helps but there always comes up one turn from which i cant play on because the game always terminates as soon as I hit "next turn".

Thanks

On the shortcut you use to load up the game, type -show_err outside the brackets
ie. ".....Rome: Totla War" -show_err

Hrm

Where?

if i right click on the shortcut and go to details etc i only find the "".....Rome: Totla War"" on the point where it is defined which exe/file/programm is targeted

(I've only done things with these additional commands one time sorry)

Open your desktop shortcut or something and in the properties where it says "Target" it should say something "G:\Program Files\Activision\Terrae Expugnandae 5.1\RomeTW.exe" -show_err

or wherever your executable is.

Thx, now i got it :-)

Ok, this will sound stupid I guess but:
Where does it show the error?
Game crashed and thats it

Did you run the game using the shortcut? If -show_err is working correctly an error message will be bought up when the game crashes. But it does not work for all crashes.
